The last night of racing before Southland Champs was a good short, fast hit out.
It was great to see Bruce Jones back to his best, clearing out in the Points Race with Tim Maynard, the two of them taking out the top spots. Kirstie James had another good night in Division 2, with visiting Christchurch rider Liz Steel also riding strongly.
Nick Kergozou was on fire in Division 1, featuring in the results for all the evening’s races. Brendan Akeroyd, Mike White and Mathew Zenovich also rode strongly. There was some excellent racing in the 4 Lap Sprinters Series in Division 1, Karl Watson was too strong, taking out both races in very close finishes.
Thank you to the wonderful Maree Wilkins for helping out and Stu MacDonald for riding in the bike in the final distance race. We will still run a race night next week, even though some will be in recovery mode from the Champs. If there aren’t many people we may just run some fun races then have a roll around. See you Friday for the first hit out!
